STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Thirteen months after his release from prison on a burglary conviction, police say a South Shore man was up to old tricks, this time breaking into his aunt’s North Shore home and swiping $14,000 in jewelry, prosecutors allege.

Advance records show he once lived there. Cotarelo now lives on Myrna Lane, Arden Heights.

The suspect snatched $14,200 in jewelry, court documents continued.

He was arrested Wednesday and expected to be arraigned yesterday in Stapleton Criminal Court.

Cotarelo, who turns 37 tomorrow, was charged with felony counts of grand larceny and stolen-property possession, a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan said.

Two years ago, Cotarelo and three accomplices were nabbed as they tried, early on Thanksgiving morning, to break into the Richmond County Savings Bank branch at 2555 Richmond Ave., New Springville.

Cops had set up a sting operation dubbed “Operation Turkeyshoot,” and had monitored the suspects, believed to be responsible for prior bank jobs, including one in Queens that netted $100,000 cash, plus jewelry.

Police grabbed the suspects on Nov. 27, 2008, as they attempted to crack into the bank through an adjoining office building’s basement wall.

Cotarelo pleaded guilty in April of last year to third-degree burglary and was sentenced to one to three years in prison.

He was released on parole on Nov. 25 of last year, online state court records show.
